What a fantastic performance by West Indies to register an emphatic victory over Netherlands by 215 runs! They fared excellently with the bat to post a massive target on the board and the bowlers backed it up with an inspiration bowling performance by making a complete mockery of the Netherlands' batting order. Kemar Roach with a six-for was the chief tormentor of the Dutch batting department. Tom Cooper was the only batsman who gutted it out in the middle, stroking a half-century but none of the other batters got in and struggled against the raw pace of Roach.
